My venture into Elderflower cordial making was so successful that I decided to have a go at Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall's St Clements orange and lemon squash recipe. I'm now totally hooked on squash-making... it's easier than baking a cake!
His recipe makes a really fruity orange/lemon drink using equal parts of lemon and orange juice...I think I may have spotted a minor error in his quantities it should read 500mls of each... My organic juicing box (which was really good value for money) had more oranges than lemons and so my juice had a higher orange/lemon ratio. The resulting squash was so fruity...it reminded me of orange icelollies we used to have as children. Like with the elderflower cordial once made you dilute to taste and again I found it works really well with tonic water...It reminded me of Britvik orange...I wonder if they still make it...
Even easier than making squash is pure juice using a juicer. One of my favourite combinations is:-
one small beetroot, an apple (preferably Royal Gala or Jazz) and a couple of small carrots.
This makes the most delicious refreshingly sweet start to the day...and the colour is amazing...
